Fenella Kim — Leadership & Keynote Speaker

A Speaker Who Has Actually Led From the Seat.

Fenella doesn’t speak about leadership from theory alone. She speaks from nearly three decades of building businesses, leading teams, navigating high-stakes decisions, and successfully exiting three companies.

As a three-time exited CEO, entrepreneur, investor, and Vistage Chair, Fenella brings firsthand experience from fintech, consumer products, education, and global business.

Her talks give CEOs, founders, executives, and leadership teams practical perspectives they can take back to the business—not just inspiration they forget when the event ends.
